Tugboat Tavern hosting benefit for injured Momentive workers

The Tugboat Tavern, located at 159 Bridge Ave. in Cohoes, will host a benefit from 4 p.m. to close on Saturday, Sept. 17, for the two victims of the May explosion at Momentive Performance Materials in Waterford. Michael Deshaw and Michael Stephanowicz were severely burned in the explosion/flash fire within the chemical plant and continue to recover.

Nine bands are scheduled to perform, and there will be food and drink specials all evening. Admission is $10.

Just a quick thanks for helping us to get the word out about the upcoming benefit (Saturday, 9/17). In speaking with both Mikes involved, it was decided that the benefit proceeds will be split in thirds, with one third going to the Local American Red Cross to support inviduals effected by Hurricane Irene.

Again, thanks for your support and we look forward to your joining us for dinner!!!

Kathy, Ian and the rest of the family at the Tugboat are great people. I try to get there as much as possible to see great local bands, I have never had a bad time there. They are doing great things in Cohoes – keep it up!

Thank you Steve for the Blog! We hope that maybe you can make it out and even complete this wonderful gesture with a follow up article! You are fantastic and we can’t thank you enough for taking the time to mention such a worthy cause!

I can’t wait to go to the Event! The bands involved are amazing and the food is amazing! The Tugboat Sauceless wings, Stuffed Burgers, and Daily specials (amazingly low prices) are above and beyond amazing-
My family and I look forward to stopping by to help contribute to such a wonderful cause and to enjoy the festivities that night- september 17th- 4pm-4am- Rock the Boat!
